Hidden Sky Light

Chen Ling heard it.

A faint smile slowly appeared in his eyes, which were stained with alcohol, but he did not respond directly.

The toes that had just been tapped on his chest were slowly put back on the wool blanket on the ground, and he seemed to miss a beat of his breath.

She leaned forward slowly, the fingertips of her right hand caressed his cheek, and said gently, "Your eyes are bloodshot, go back to sleep, be safe, you don't need a driver tonight..."

He knew she was teasing him on purpose.

because last night...

As long as she keeps it in her heart, she will compare it with money.

Shen Ci swallowed heavily, but he knew in his heart that if she didn't let her tease, she wouldn't be able to get through this...

Shen Cinaihe.

In his thoughts, her fingertips stroked his cheek, then behind his ear, and in his hair, the warmth and softness on her fingertips could not help reminding him of the two closenesses, the tenderness with memory kept emerging in his mind, Let him breathe quickly, almost unable to restrain the thoughts in his heart.

Suddenly, her lips came close to his, and they touched it lightly.

It was really just a touch, he didn't have time to respond, and when he subconsciously wanted to kiss her, his lips were already empty.

He was inexplicably lost.

But because he was so close, he could smell the smell on her body and the smell in her hair, which made him temporarily absent-minded.

"I'm sleepy, I'll talk about it tomorrow." She retracted her fingertips.

His heart was empty again.

"A Ling..." He looked at her reverently, his voice a little hoarse.

"Shen Zi'an, don't you want to be a stumbling block? Huh?" In this sentence, she whispered to him against his ear. The voice was very soft, like a feather in the air, but it seemed to follow the skin on the ear, a little bit. Infiltrated into the limbs and bones, teased to the bottom of my heart.

"I'm talking nonsense." His whole being had been pushed to the brink of rationality by her.

"Oh~" She leaned over again and said ambiguous, "What nonsense did you say?"

The fire in his eyes seemed to be gradually unable to hold back, and he looked at her more and more admiringly, "What do you want to hear, Your Majesty?"

"Listen to your name." She said warmly.

"A Ling." He breathed slightly.

"More."

"A Ling..."

This time, Chen Ling didn't make a sound, just held his cheeks and looked at him quietly, the clearness and gleam in her eyes blended together, he unconsciously restrained his breath, and gradually said in a deep voice, "A Ling, it's funny enough. Yet?"

She was noncommittal, still looked at him with a smile, did not say a word, rested her cheeks in one hand, her eyes were bright and charming, and the wine-smelling eyes seemed to be more soul-stirring than usual...

"Your Majesty is drunk." His eyes darkened.

Without waiting for her to speak again, he reached out and held her hand, "The last will sober up for His Majesty."

He got up and picked her up, her feet were empty, and the bathrobe slipped off.

When he hugged her, she was half a head higher than him, and she could only reach out and wrap his arms around the back of his neck. He reached out and stroked the back of her neck as before, and she could clearly feel the thin calluses rubbing against his tiger's mouth, she trembled slightly, and when he lowered her head, he kissed her lips.

There is still hot water in the ear room, the water vapor curls up, and the warmth lingers, and two beautiful and hazy figures are vaguely reflected in the misted bronze mirror.

The night was long, but the stars in the night sky were not as charming as her eyes.

He was immersed in the beautiful night.

He also kissed the back of her neck, and the dark green silk satin tied with a red rope fell suddenly on one side of the small couch. The person in his arms was so rare that the blue silk dangled, and it was slanted on the shoulder of the cloud, and the black hair formed with the creamy skin. The stark contrast is captivating.

"Am I dreaming?" His voice deepened.

"Have you ever dreamed?"

"What do you think?" There was a quiver in his voice.

"What else is there in the dream?" She pressed the tip of her nose to the tip of his.

"Only you, Ling, only you..."

She kissed his lips, "Shen Ci, how much do you like me?"

"I don't want life, how much do I like it?"

Chen Ling looked at him: "..."

He swallowed softly, "Want to know?"

Before she could answer, he suddenly hugged her in his arms, she couldn't help but sigh, her fingertips could not help pinching him, and whispered, "Zi'an..."

He slowly responded to her.

Her fingertips tightened.

"A Ling, don't be afraid." He slowly reassured.

Her eyes trembled, her eyelashes were even misty, her fingertips clenched tightly and alternately with gentleness, there was the forbearance of the sky falling into the trough, and the sigh of the trough climbing to the cloud. Week after week, whether it is extremely peaceful.

The night was long, and the faint light fell on each other's eyes, as if plated with a layer of golden light.

In Jinhui, I hope that the four seasons will bloom and the four seasons will fall...

***

Qishan was staying in the garden, and at this time, he saw Sheng Wenyu, the son of the Marquis of Jianping, coming to the garden.

Qi Shan hurried to meet him, and naturally blocked people from the garden, and said with a gentle smile, "Prince."

Sheng Wenyu saw Qishan stretch out his hand and asked, "Is Your Majesty there?"

Qi Shan smiled and said calmly, "Your Majesty has rested."

Take a break?

Sheng Wenyu was surprised and laughed softly, "Just now I saw that Your Majesty drank a lot, so that people could understand the wine and soup, and I originally wanted to send it to His Majesty."

Qi Shan also laughed, "Your Majesty has a heart, His Majesty has already used the hangover soup, and now he has rested."

For the second time, Qishan used the words "has rested", which meant that he would not be disturbed.

Sheng Wenyu said hello knowingly.

He looked behind him again, and finally said to Qishan, "The father-in-law should take care of your majesty."

Qishan should be fine.

Sheng Wenyu was about to turn around, but when he heard the sound of something knocking down in the house, Sheng Wenyu was stunned, and Qi Shan was also stunned.

Qi Shan just said that His Majesty is resting, so now...

Sheng Wenyu looked at Qishan, and saw that Qishan's eyes were subtlely avoided.

Sheng Wenyu asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, are you all right?"

Qishan reminded again, "Prince, Your Majesty has rested."

No matter how deaf Sheng Wenyu was, he should have heard the clues...

There are people in the emperor's house, and it is not a minister's duty to intervene too much.

Sheng Wenyu remained silent.

Qishan handed over, "The prince rests early, and sees His Majesty again tomorrow."

Sheng Wenyu responded, and when he turned to leave the garden, his eyes sank slightly.

Qishan watched Sheng Wenyu leave, and simply stayed at the gate of the garden. His Majesty left early today, and obviously drank more than tomorrow. If the Prince of Jianping can come, others will come to care for His Majesty. He will stay here safely.

It was just an unfortunate coincidence that the Duke of Jianping heard it, but the Duke of Jianping was also a smart man.

The people and things in the emperor's house are not the subject of ministers.

Qi Shan did not say anything.

***

The long night was long, and the glimmer of the night lights was engulfed in the beauty and prosperity.

From the ear room to the inner room, from the couch to the table, the voice just now was that Chen Ling was happy when he pressed him on the table, she suddenly kicked Shen Ci, and Shen Ci fell down with a "coax". Chen Ling laughed out loud.

Shen Ci hugged her back to the bed, but the bed couldn't be turned over.

Chen Ling was still smiling.

Shen Ci stretched out her hand and ran across her ear, "What did you just call me?"

Chen Ling was slightly surprised, "Zi An?"

Shen Ci whispered, "When you kicked me down..."

If it wasn't for her calling him like that all of a sudden, why would he suddenly become distracted...

Chen Ling reached out and wrapped his arms around the back of his neck, and said softly, "Shen Zi'an, when you are in the driver's seat, it's a big taboo to make an inch..."

His lips curled up.

Chen Ling was slightly startled, not knowing what he meant.

But soon, he practiced what she said, and her eyes gradually lost clarity.

He slowly kissed her lips again and asked seriously, "What did you just call me?"

She couldn't help it, "Husband."

"Call again."

"Husband, husband..."

"Also, A Ling."

However, Chen Ling was about to bite her lower lip and keep silent, but it was easy for her to speak up. In the successive storms, she had to speak again, "Husband."

She became more and more soft, and was finally suppressed by his kiss back to her throat...

It was too tiring to have fun this night, and Chen Ling couldn't keep his eyes open.

From the beginning of drinking, I was a little confused, and then I woke up with all the alcohol.

The temperature of the water in the bathtub was very warm, which relieved her fatigue a little bit. Shen Ci cleaned it up for her. She had marks all over her body, and she didn't want to move very much. It's reluctant to look away.

And only now, she is his Chen Ling alone.

"A Ling." He called her.

She opened her eyes tiredly, the autumn water between her eyes was glistening, her face was still rosy, and her lips were still charming.

It's clearly been a whole night, and it doesn't seem to be enough...

She opened her eyes and looked at him, not knowing what he meant, but suddenly, her face turned red again, "Zi'an..."

Before he finished speaking, he kissed her lips and intertwined his fingers.

The sky was already white with fish belly, and Chen Ling's face turned red.

***

Around noon, Qu Bianying came to the Hou residence, and Chi Hongying greeted him, "General Qu, His Majesty was still mentioning the general the day before yesterday, saying that the general should go to Miaocheng."

Qu Bianying was dressed in a military uniform, her ponytail was tied up, and she was heroic. Although she had been on the road all the time, she didn't feel it, but she was heroic.

"There was something on the way that was delayed for two days, and I just missed the celebration banquet. Are your Majesty and the prince okay?" Qu Bianying asked.

She had been ordered by the Son of Heaven earlier to intercept the food route of Tan Wang's party along with King Jingping, and then went to Dingzhou to raise food. Going in the direction of Dongcheng, they separated later, so it was a few days later than Fan Yu's turn back.

Chi Hongying replied, "Don't worry, General, Your Majesty and the Prince are well."

Qu Bianying nodded.

This place is the side hall of the Pingnanhou Mansion. The emperor is still in the bedroom, and everyone who wants to see the emperor is waiting in the side hall.

Not long after she arrived, she saw Sheng Wenyu and Lu Mingjian coming.

"Sister Qu!" Lu Mingjian was pleasantly surprised. Originally, Qu Bianying was not seen at this celebration banquet. Lu Mingjian thought that the Son of Heaven had arranged things next to Qu Bianying and could not reach Miaocheng for a while, but who would have seen Qu Bianying appear in Hou's mansion today!

Lu Mingjian's mouth has been familiar with noble ladies in Beijing since childhood, and Qu Bianying is no exception.

"Fan Zhuo." Qu Bianying also greeted him.

Then, his eyes fell on Sheng Wenyu beside Lu Mingjian, "Sheng Wenyu."

"General Qu, congratulations." Sheng Wenyu called out the title, and also plausibly said, "Ziyiwei is the guard beside Your Majesty, and General Qu is a blockbuster."

Qu Bianying knew that he was deliberately "complimenting".

Although Qu Bianying is a woman, she has been with Mr. Qu since she was a child.

When the two of them said these words to each other, neither of them would get angry. If it was Chen Xiuyuan, it would be different.

These words came out of Chen Xiuyuan's mouth, and it was yin and yang.

Especially that sentence, General Qu, congratulations.

Qu Bianying inexplicably remembered...

The curved edge returned to God.

Like Sheng Wenyu, Qu Bianying was accustomed to being in the army, so he was accustomed to putting his hand on his saber at any time, "Each one another, this time we have calmed down Huaicheng.

After listening to the two of them complimenting each other, Lu Mingjian also laughed.

Qu Bianying looked around, "Why didn't I see Shen Ci? I still have something to ask him."

Lu Mingjian looked at Sheng Wenyu, "Yes, third brother, why didn't the second brother listen to you?"

Lu Mingjian lived in the Hou Mansion, but both Sheng Wenyu and Shen Ci stayed in the post house. In Lu Mingjian's impression, they should be together.

Sheng Wenyu was slightly startled, and then replied, "I drank too much last night and didn't care about him, thinking that he came to Hou's mansion first."

"Then I'll send someone to the post house to call the second brother." Lu Mingjian just finished speaking when he saw Eunuch Qishan coming to the side hall.

"Father Qi!" Lu Mingjian was born with a smile, always smiling in front of everyone.

"General Qu, the two princes." Qishan cupped his hands in greeting, and then continued, "Your Majesty drank too much last night, and I haven't woken up yet. I'm afraid it will take some time before I can go to the side hall and let the old slave come and talk to you all. Sigh, he'll be here later."

Qishan, the old Taoist, has always followed the emperor's side, leaving no trace of everything.

Neither Lu Mingjian nor Qu Bianying thought much.

Sheng Wenyu remembered what happened last night and didn't say a word.

Before the emperor arrived, officials from the side hall came one after another, but seeing that the emperor hadn't arrived, they knew that the emperor drank too much last night, so they also exchanged a few words and went back to the post house. In the end, Sheng Wenyu was left behind. , Lu Mingjian, Qu Bianying and others.

Later, a guard announced, "General Shen, Master Fan is here."

Everyone turned their eyes.

"Second brother!" Lu Mingjian greeted.

Shen Cizheng was talking to Fan Yu, and when he heard Lu Mingjian's voice, he turned his eyes to look over, and saw Sheng Wenyu and Qu Bianying were there.

Fan Yu stepped forward together.

All the way to Dingzhou to raise food, Qu Bianying was with Fan Yu, and he became familiar with him, "Why are you two together?"

Fan Yu said, "I came from the post house to the Hou's Mansion, and I happened to meet General Shen, and I happened to be together."

Shen Ci also said, "I just went to Yucheng before, and I talked with Lord Fan about many things."

Lu Mingjian sighed, "Second brother, how do I think you look very energetic and tired today, how did you do it?"

Shen Ci: "..."

Sheng Wenyu also looked at Shen Ci and didn't say anything.

Shen Ci replied, "Go for a morning run with me tomorrow, will you go?"

Lu Mingjian shook his head quickly, "Farewell, you'd better go by yourself."

Qu Bianying smiled, "By the way, Zi'an, I happened to ask you for help with something, so I can take a step to talk."

It may not be appropriate to mention the matter of Xirong to others before meeting the Son of Heaven, but Shen Ci is different. Shen Ci is a general of the garrison at Licheng Pass. He already knows about Xirong, and there is nothing wrong with discussing it with him.

Qu Bianying and Shen Ci paced to one side.

Qu Bianying took out the previous amulet from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Shen Ci, "Zi'an, you have been at the border gate of Licheng, can you recognize this?"

Such amulet is rare, and the text on it is not Chinese at first glance.

Shen Ci recognized at a glance that it belonged to Xirong, "Where did it come from?"

Qu Bianying did not hide it, "Your Majesty asked me to finish the affairs of Dingzhou, and then escorted King Jingping to Dongcheng. On the way to Dongcheng, I met a Xirong man, and it fell from him. I think you are interested in Xirong. I'm familiar, I'm afraid I can see some clues, so I'll ask you."

Of course Shen Ci recognized it, his eyes also fell on the symbols above and did not move, Shen Sheng said to Qubian Ying, "There is no systematic text for each tribe in Xirong, only symbols are used for pronunciation. Their amulets are said to be brought with them. Your own name, in fact, should be understood as the pronunciation of your own name."

"I see." Qu Bianying heard this for the first time, and Shen Ci was really familiar with Xi Rong.

"Then look, can you recognize what character it is?" Qu Bianying didn't hide it from him, "This person is very powerful, when I was with King Jingping, King Jingping found this person suspicious, so he let people When we caught him, we thought we had restrained him and four people were holding him, but he broke free of these four people at the same time and took me. At first we thought he wanted to take me hostage, but in fact He stole my and King Jingping's waist cards, this person is very good, Ziyiwei didn't catch him, but he had to guard him, he is going west now, but I want to know who this person is?"

Shen Ci's eyes narrowed, "The characters on the amulet are pronounced Harmia."

"Halmia?" Qu Bianying had never heard of it, "Have you heard of it in Licheng?"

Shen Ci said in a deep voice, "Near Licheng is the tribe on the east side of Xirong. I have never met him before, but I heard this name from the tribe on the east side. This amulet is him, he is the hero of the tribe on the west side of Xirong. He has already led five tribes, and it is not easy to deal with. I was put together by him when I was in Qucheng, and you can still meet him, which shows that he is really fearless, and he is still wandering in Yan Korea, so he has to be careful."

When Qu Bianying heard it, he sighed angrily, "I was careless. I never thought that the other party would deliberately pretend to be captured, and I didn't expect him to be so powerful, otherwise there would be no chance for him to escape.

Shen Ci was relieved, "Isn't King Jingping here? Since King Jingping is still there, he was allowed to escape, so Harmiya must be very powerful! I met him in Qucheng, and he played around with him. , it's not that it's careless, it's that this person is not easy to deal with."

After Shen Ci finished speaking, Qu Bianying smiled and said, "I'm relieved to say that."

Shen Ci said, "There are no victorious generals on the battlefield, and even more outside the battlefield."

Bending his arms around his arms, "Shen Ci, no wonder my grandfather said that you must have learned a lot when you were with General Liu Jian."

Shen Ci also smiled, "Well, it's okay to comfort people."

Qu Bianying also smiled, Shen Ci returned the amulet in his hand to her, Qu Bianying said, "I will talk about this after I have seen Your Majesty and listened to His Majesty's wishes."

The two turned back to Sheng Wenyu, Lu Mingjian and Fan Yu.

It just so happened that Sheng Wenyu and Fan Yu would stay in Fuyang County this time to assist Ning Xiang in the aftermath of Fuyang County.

When Shen Ci and Qu Bianying were talking, Sheng Wenyu and Fan Yu were also talking about Fuyang County. Fan Yu has been serving in several cities in Fuyang County over the years. Starting from a basic official position, he knows many things in Fuyang County; many things that Sheng Wenyu asks can be answered from Fan Yu.

In fact, Sheng Wenyu had also heard of Fan Yu before, and most of the evaluations of Fan Yu in the court and middle school were based on talent and arrogance. Originally it was Tanhualang who almost lost his life because he committed a crime against the late emperor. Later, he was protected by the emperor, but he did not reuse it. .

But now, when he really listens to Fan Yu talking about the various things in Fuyang County, Sheng Wenyu can actually hear that Fan Yu is very logical, has a strong control over the overall situation, and is very good at summarizing, which makes it clear at a glance.

Moreover, it is not as conceited as rumored, and it is not difficult to get along with.

This time, the emperor asked him and Fan Yu to stay and assist Ning Xiang, which is enough to show that the emperor holds Fan Yu highly and wants to reuse Fan Yu, so he put Fan Yu by Ning Xiang's side for a while to sharpen his temper, and at the same time, use Ning Xiang. Blocking the lingering mouths of the court, when Fan Yu returned to Beijing, the aftermath of Fuyang County would be the stepping stone.

Only Lu Mingjian was at a loss, but fortunately Shen Ci and Qu Bianying turned back, Lu Mingjian doesn't need to listen to the scriptures anymore~

In the words, "Your Majesty is here, Ning Xiang is here!"

Outside the side hall, the voice of the inner attendant came, and everyone turned their eyes, only to see that it was Ning Tong who came to the side hall with the emperor.

I just heard Qishan say that the emperor drank a lot last night and got up late. I thought that the emperor might not be in good spirits today, but when he saw the emperor in a bright red dragon robe, he was accompanied by a dark purple first-grade official uniform. Ning Xiangshi also felt that the emperor in the big red dragon robe was not only spiritual, but also stunning, and showed the majesty of the emperor everywhere.

The big red dragon robe, in fact, the emperor rarely wears it, and for some reason today...

Only Shen Ci knows that the dragon robe on the emperor's body is formal, so the collar is high and straight, which can cover many traces, and it looks formal and difficult to detect.

But in fact, from last night to this morning, the penthouse and the house were all messed up.

Can't watch it at all.

In the midst of the stars and the moon, Chen Ling is still dazzling, as if all the tenderness and grace have only passed before him, and now, she is still the emperor above.

Shen Ci lowered his head, restraining his heartbeat and eyes.

"I've seen Your Majesty, Ning Xiang!" Everyone cupped their hands.

"No gift." Chen Ling's voice was accustomed to being noble and indifferent, no different from usual.

Chen Ling didn't specifically look at Shen Ci, his eyes fell on Qu Bianying, and asked with a smile, "Why didn't you come earlier? It happened to be yesterday's celebration banquet, but I missed it."

Qu Bian Ying bowed and salutes, "Something was delayed on the way, and I didn't have time to rush back."

Chen Ling nodded and asked two more questions, "Is the journey going smoothly?"

Qu Bianying replied, "King Jingping has been sent to Yaocheng. King Jingping has gone from Yaocheng to Dongcheng. I think he will arrive at Dongcheng in just a few days."

"Okay." Chen Ling responded, and just happened to walk in front of Shen Ci. Chen Ling glanced at him, but he didn't say a word. The lingering death in the morning flashed in their minds at the same time, but both Know what's going on right now.

Chen Ling retracted his gaze, took a seat, and said to Qi Shan on the side, "Give a seat to the teacher."
